LAKEWOOD, Colo. — The 2019 Colorado General Assembly Legislative Session concluded on May 3rd. 654 bills were introduced, 136 bills died and the Governor signed 368 bills into law and vetoed five. For the first time in 20 years the legislature worked on the weekend. Throughout the session Colorado business community found themselves on the defensive. A few priorities of leadership and the Governor’s office did not pass, but we will see them comeback next year. We are proud to report that HB19-1329, a bill that exempts wholesale greenhouses from paying sales tax on fertilizer was passed and signed by Governor Polis. This is a huge win for our industry and will save thousands of dollars to member companies. For details on specific bills, read the full summary report.
